A Case of Cutaneous Tuberculosis Presenting with Generalized Xanthogranulomas
Keyword(s):
A 33-year-old male had a 22-year history of generalized xanthogranulomas but had a normal lipid profile. He also developed ulcerating plaques on his arm and back that were consistent with cutaneous tuberculosis on histopathologic and polymerase chain reaction PCR studies. In a normolipemic patient with generalized xanthogranulomas, a reactive granulomatous response of histiocytes to infection is explored since these share a common CD 14+ precursor with the macrophages that are vital in tuberculosis.
